Chapter 1 • Introduction: Anxiety and Panic Attacks in COPD • In the Words of People with COPD • Important Observations • We All are not Exactly Alike • Suggestions: How to Get What You Want Out of this Book; Easiest and Quickest!
Main Messages of this Presentation • Anxiety and Panic attacks are not uncommon in COPD. Some estimates indicate that symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks may be experienced by 25% to 60% of people with COPD. • Many COPD patients may also experience symptoms of depression and other forms of emotional stress with or without anxiety. However, we focus on anxiety and panic symptoms in this presentation • If you experience anxiety, panic attacks, depression or any other emotional challenge, it does not mean you are “weak” or “going crazy.” Actually, the presence of anxiety or depression simply shows you are human and react like a normal human being • Seeking help or accepting treatment does not mean, “I’ve lost control,” “I have failed” or “I am falling apart.” It is smart to seek help when you need it. • Breathing problems can increase anxiety and anxiety can increase breathlessness. For example, over breathing, rapid and shallow breathing can trap too much stale air in the lungs making it more difficult to get in the fresh air in the lungs (called “dynamic hyperinflation’) which can also result in shortness of breath, Dyspnea (breathing discomfort) and/or panic attacks. Corrective breathing and physical and mental relaxation can change this chain reaction. • Untreated anxiety and anxious breathing pattern can negatively affect your health and your ability to exercise or perform other activities. • Right breathing can reduce anxiety. Utilize right breathing techniques to manage and control anxiety. • Physical and mental relaxation can be a powerful tool for dealing with breathlessness and anxiety. Learn the master skill, that is, the “Relaxation skill.” Relax those tense muscles, anxious thoughts, and anxious mind with the techniques described here. We will provide you the following important tips: • Tips for changing anxious thoughts and symptoms and learn about the “worry busters” • Tips for breathing correctly to reduce anxiety and/or hyperventilation • And, the “nuts and bolts” of relaxation techniques. * This section is a part of the book, “Overcoming Anxiety and Depression and Breathing Correctly in COPD/Emphysema: A Self Care Book for People with COPD & Psychosocial Manual for Professionals” by Vijai Sharma, intended for future publication Copyright Vijai Sharma, PhD All inquiries to be directed to dr.sharma@mindpub.com
